The ClunForest sheep has a very ancient lineage, for it is descended from one of the oldest types of sheep found in England, a distinction it shares with the other Uplands breeds of the Welsh English border, and also with the sheep of the Welsh mountains.
In the Clun area, the land rose from east to west from 600 to 1250 feet, and until the middle of the 16th century, this was one of the wildest and most desolate regions in England, for it was an area of conflict between the Welsh and the English.
Clun breeders owe a considerable debt to Tony, who coming to Canada in the 1960s, had the experience and foresight to recognize that the ClunForest sheep was very well adapted for use on the grassland farms of North America.
The ClunForest is a breed descending from one of the oldest breeds in England.
The ClunForest can probably credit these breeds for its hardiness; its adaptability to survive on poor forage; and to prosper on good forage; the strong bond that can be seen between the ewes and their offspring; the drive to survive seen in lambs; and the milking capability of the ewes.
ClunForest rams usually weigh from 175 to 225 pounds and the ewes are from 150 to 170 pounds.
